________________ E. Leumann, An outline of the Āvaśyaka Literature 806. 9. Malevolence in the heart can sometimes occur out of consideration for oneself or for another. 10. There are five (convenience-) supports (a. the hands above the knees, b. the hands below the knees, c. the hands at both sides, d. the hands in the lap, e. the hands, slung around a knee). 11. Fear can relate to excommunication or similar matters. 807. 12. With the thought "he is well-disposed or will be well-disposed to me" (some venerate the teacher), since he offers a quid pro quo service (the veneration, so to speak). 13. And exactly the same (is the case) with friendship. 14. with ambition (the person concerned thinks: one will see) "I have been trained in class”. 808.15. every motive, except knowledge, faith and change, has this worldly life [14] in view, with attainment of knowledge, it is also exactly like that, if this should be only for a sense of honour and pride; 809. (likewise when, for example, the following thought serves as a motive:) “Well, alright! I shall venerate him with special devotion; after that I shall request (this or that) (and) he will not refuse my request, since he understands the veneration as a reward." 810. 16. when someone at a veneration conceals himself from others (because that person could possibly take offence at something), then this is called furtive; he conceals himself (out of fear) like a thief “so that disgrace does not (accrue) to me." 811. 17. at meal-time or at evacuation or at both, you are thwarted (from venerating the teacher). 18. If one venerates, flushed with anger, then this (krtikarman) is called angry. 812. 19. "You are neither angry nor merciful, (as little) as a wooden Siva(-idol) - this is a threat; or someone threatens the teacher during the prostration with the head, finger or something similar. 813.20. “This is a chance to gain the confidence (of pious laymen, etc.)” – for one (venerating with such a thought and) devoid of sincerity, a cunning (krtikarman) occurs; cunning, deceit and craftiness are the same. 814.21. contemptuous (it is, if you say instead of Your Grace"): "Gaņa-head” (or) “Schoolmaster” (or) "Eldest" (or) “What is the need to venerate you". 22. A talkative (person) tells vulgar stories and events when he has hardly finished the veneration. 815.23. If one does not venerate when he is blocked (by another person) or when it is dark, on the contrary, if he venerates only when he is seen, then that is a seen or unseen (kệtikarman). 24. (The křtikarman) with the forehead bone is a falling down on one of both frontal bumps. 816.25. One who shows veneration (no doubt) considers it to be a tribute (in the assumption) "it is a tax imposed by the Jaina religion”. 26. (Another thinks:) absolved of the worldly tax, we are not freed from the veneration tax. 817.27. (With the hands) the small brush and head can be touched or not, which results in four combinations (a. small brush and head; b. small brush, but not the head; c. head, but not the small brush; d. neither small brush nor head). 28. Incomplete in regard to words and gestures (is, at times, the kịtikarman) or in too short a time (finished), in comparison with the rest. 818.29. [14] (If one says) after showing veneration (still) “I venerate with the head”, then this is an addition. 38 Jain Education International For Personal & Private Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
